I recently discovered a cache of letters which my mother had written to my aunt and uncle during my childhood - that was like winning the lottery! Shakespeare's plays and a lovely scarf sound like beautiful momentos, I am so glad you have them.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218332259187330304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-48411082072742665292012-04-25T05:44:55.320+01:002012-04-25T05:44:55.320+01:00It's a wonderful brooch!

Like you, I have a very few mementos of my mother - her copy of Shakespeare's plays, a lovely scarf - nothing valuable to anyone but me. Love the story of the saucepan lid. These things are valuable because of the secrets they embody - if only they could talk.Evlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119886070700514303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525594470029141306.post-6408624576152698752012-04-22T17:32:11.055+01:002012-04-22T17:32:11.055+01:00Hi Mitch, It really is a sweet little brooch, muc...Hi Mitch, It really is a sweet little brooch, much nicer than the photograph.
